Driver door ajar, passenger door ajar. These alerts come up when my doors are closed. The interior light stays on for ever and I cannot lock my doors! This is not acceptable. I have read hundreds and hundreds of complaints about this exact problem. Also, the interior lights just come on randomly when car is parked with no key in ignition. And, the backup camera, when it works, is upside down!! These problems should be recalled, as I see so many others complaining about the exact same issues.
2011 Ford Edge electrical complaints

Our 2011 ford edge,which we bought new from a local dealership,now has an odometer reading of just over17,000 miles.after experiencing the interior lights coming on and remaining on without the switch being used or the doors opene,we noticed that the'drivers door ajar' warning came on and the door was actually closed tightly.the interior door locks would engage and release repeatedly while driving.this was the greatest cause of alarm for us because our small great grandchildren often ride with us. Our battery went bad and from what I can determine,this may be the reason.my wife is the principal operator and no longer feels safe in this vehicle with this problem existing.I have contacted fomoco customer service and there is no recourse other than pay the dealership to repair/replace the actuator.I feel that as many problems as have occurred with these parts,a recall should already have been done by ford...this problem has occurred in traffic and also while parked in our drive.thanks for allowing me this opportunity.
The door ajar light stays on despite all doors being closed. This in turn prohibits the doors to lock on the vehicle (while driving and parked).the dome light will turn on intermittently, this includes during night time driving and when parked - both creating major safety issues. Battery drainage - being left with an inoperable vehicle. Visibility - severe glare and limited visibility while driving in darkness. Personal safety - doors not looking creates a threat to personal safety (there is a reason car doors lock automatically within a few minutes of takeoff - personal safety). In addition to this, the backup camera went out at 50000miles. So disappointed!
The door ajar sensors are erratic and often report false ajar conditions. This results in the interior lights not going out until you reach a certain forward speed and the the doors will not stay locked with the power locks, you press lock and they unlock. The lights also come on randomly while the car is parked. These sensors have a 100% failure rate and are part of the door latch so they are expensive to replace. It makes it very dangerous maneuvering the car at night with the interior lights on and it is pretty unsafe to not be able to lock all the doors and have them stay locked.
My vehicle has an issue where the hud will stay on occasionally after turning off my car and leaving it. This drains my battery, leaving my car completely dead. At one time it was unable to even jump start. This has happened twice, when the vehicle has been shut off. Also, any of my controls for radio/volume/cruise control/etc. Will often freeze or suddenly jump up or down. This happens randomly, regardless if the vehicle is in motion or not.
On the highway my advanced service traction light came on and so did the ABS light.also my passenger door is shut but my light in my car is on and the door ajar warning code comes on with the door shut. And comes on while I'm driving and I have to pull over to try to get the light off.
Door ajar warning light won't go off. Interior lights stay on and doors won't lock.
The door ajar light for my driver's side door will not turn off. It's a safety hazard, as I have no idea if my door is closed or actually ajar and I drive on the highway often. I have an extended warranty I bought with my car, and was sold this as bumper-to-bumper everything covered besides the brakes and tires. The ford service center wanted $450 to repair since they won't cover this under my extended warranty. They won't give me my car back without paying a $100 diagnostics fee. 10 seconds on google shows this is a common problem already being investigated by the federal safety agency. Please do not let up. This needs to be recalled, or covered under warrenty.
The left rear door closed switch failed causing the interior lights to remain illuminated continuously. This caused the battery to be drained while the car was parked, stranding my daughter and mother-in-law.
Door ajar light is always on. The doors won't lock due to this. Safety hazard for everyone in the vehicle
I have the infamous "door always ajar" problem on my ford edge. The problem seems to be the door latch assembly that gets corroded and stops indicating the door is closed. When the car is in motion, the locks won't lock, posing a hazard in a accident, imo. If this is at night, the interior lights come on and this could potentially cause the driver to be startled and cause an accident. If it is parked the interior lights won't go off and drains the battery, possibly stranding the driver in an unfriendly area. I love this car but I can't trust it or drive it until it is fixed. That the manufacturer is well aware of the problem and it is of their own making and they refuse to do anything about it is unacceptable. Thank you for giving me a chance to do something about this and for your work at keeping the public safe!
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that after stopping the vehicle, the vehicle failed to shut off while the shift into park error warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift into park and the emergency brake was operated in order to park the vehicle. The contact called bob boyd ford dealer at 740‑654‑1122 where they informed the contact the price for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000. The VIN was not available.
"driver door ajar" light remains lit after closing. No obvious physical defect. Dome/interior lights remain illuminated, doors will not lock even while the vehicle is underway. Center display remains powered/illuminated when the vehicle is turned off and doors are closed, causing total discharge of the battery.
Driver's door ajar warning light stays on even when door is closed. Interior lights stay on for a while after you start driving. Doors will not automatically lock and if you lock them they will automatically unlock when driving. When exiting the vehicle and you go to lock it, the horn sounds twice indicating the door is not shut, and the interior lights remain on for a while. Real pain. Ford needs to get this figured out and recall these defective vehicles.
Door ajar issue. Already killed one battery. Also is a safety issue. I've had to drive several times when it's dark out and the lights inside the vehicle will not shut off. Not going to pay almost 500 dollars to have this fixed when I hear of tons of people fixing it, for the issue to come right back with a new part.
Door ajar warning light stays on while vehicle is running, making it impossible to lock doors while driving or stopped in traffic. When vehicle is parked, interior land exterior lights will turn on without reason. This causes the battery to drain frequently. If doors are locked while vehicle is parked, the car alarm will go off frequently.
The drivers side 'door ajar' light stays on, even though the door is obviously not open. The interior lights stay on until the vehicle begins moving forward after reaching a certain speed. When the vehicle is shut off, the radio & power immediately shuts off as well. This could become a problem if it kills the battery.
Mytouch screen will not allow me to change time, turn on heat for seats or choose between driver and passenger seats, adjust temperature in vehicle. Sometimes when trying to turn heat on seat, it will just change radio stations. Screen not sensitive to touch.
Intermittently, hazard lights come on while car is parked.
Alarm just goes off when vehicle is parked and no one is around. It even goes off in garage.
While loading/unloading from back, gate comes down unexpectedly.
Door ajar light stays on even though door is closed which prevents doors being locked while vehicle in motion. Even though car is parked and turned off, interior lights stay on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. While stationary, the vehicle experienced an electrical failure. The contact stated that the rear passenger door had a chip incorrectly installed, which caused the instrument panel to display "door ajar" even after the door remained closed. The contact stated that the interior lighting remained illuminated when the vehicle was off. Sam pack's five star ford in carrollton, texas was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to ford. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
2011 ford edge doors will not lock in drive when door adjar light is on - sensor issue with ford vehicles in door - faulty door adjar switch when on will not let you lock doors and will not auto lock when putting in drive
Door ajar light wont go off. Will not allow the doors to lock while driving and the lights stay on after the car is turned off.
Screen for controlling radio/navigation sync blanks out. Apim bad costs $1000 to repair. Extended warranty 12m02 not long enough. Should be a recall.
Battery tested fine. When stationary the ford edge will not start and all warning signs for the vehicle are on. The radio turns is on and interior lights. Also, while in motion the car it all of sudden stops in the middle of traffic my neighborhood.
Door ajar sensor not working. After the car is moving the doors will not lock which is a safety concern for my wife and daughter.
For months, this has been happening on a daily basis. Passenger side door ajar, randomly unlocking doors/interior & exterior lights flash/ alarm goes off and dash/touch screen goes on/off. Safety issue because interior lights can randomly come on at night... Car has to be left unlocked or doors randomly unlock themselves.. And battery dies because lights and alarms go on and off all the time...all caused by this issue. Afraid this may cause other issues, possible fire hazard if there is a major electrical issue. Ford will not issue a recall because they say they haven't had enough complaints. They gave me a case # after the fifth month of calling them, only to deny it after I went to the dealership. Frustrated!
To whom it may concern, I have a 2011 ford edge limited that I bought from shultz ford in wexford pa in 2014. I had wonderful customer service and couldn't ask for a better team to work with. [xxx] was a great salesman and treated me like I was his friend instead of a salesman. My experience was the best! In march of 2016, I was made aware of the apim module for my 2011 ford edge limited being extended from the original manufactures date. I notified shultz in march of 2016 only to find out that the warranty was expired by one month. It's not their fault by any means, but to me and my family it is a safety concern and also a liability. You see, I have 4 precious children and they are active and always playing from ages 2 to 9 years old. If they are playing in the yard I cannot see them when I put my ford in reverse, and as you know in the past and now several children have lost their lives due drivers not knowing if anything is behind them. This is a huge safety concern for me and gives me anxiety thinking of this. I truly and honestly feel this should be a safety recall and not just an extended warranty repair. So at present day, my back up camera continues not to work and blacks out and I do not have any idea if anyone is behind me or not. It's very discouraging because I love ford and the product that you produce. All I'm asking is that you will replace this apim module because ford needs to ensure the safety of its customers and guarantee its cars are made well and functioning as they were intended. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
